[[Paintball Field-MELON]]

Aphismet grinned as his pit-mate lept out and took a shot, tumbling back in with a fresh paint wound of his own. With a laugh, Aphismet shrugged. "Are you? I don't really know, I haven't been keeping track. Shooting folks is just too fun so I was just focusing on that. I've only got one bullet left, I hit three people out of five... I'm keeping my last one for Werika, the Cactus Captain, if I can find him..." Sneakily, Aphi leaned up out of the burrow and glanced around again for the man. "See a long-eared, tan-skinned man around?"

The kitten raevan shook her head as she felt someone picking her up. She opened her eyes and saw a man with quite a bit of paint on him. "I-I tried to use it, but I missed! I was waiting until I had a good shot!" Lucia, rather than floating up, slumped down as she was released. "B-but I keep getting hit. And it hurts." She shook her head and hid in the ditch.

As the man put a stray strand of hair back in place she sighed and wiped the paint off herself. She wiped her eyes, making sure not to mess up her eyeliner, and she tried to stop her body's shaking. Another hit, however, would unnerve her even more. And though she felt that more would come before the game was over, she wasn't prepared to get hit again.

"Score!" Lazarus exclaimed as his shot hit Josh. Realizing that people know his hiding location already, Lazarus decided to take a brave move and abandoned his little sand dune. Getting up suddenly, he took a final shot at APHISMET before dashing to a sand tower nearest to him to take cover. What he didn't know however, is that someone was already behind said sand tower. With a loud thud he banged painfully into Rochan.

"Her name is Melisande!" Kyou informed Yuurei with a smile. "Very lovely girl." he added as he popped out the utensils for drink mixing. Yuurei was probably right though, even if people are sitting at the bar, a lot of them had their eyes glued to the paint ball event at the moment. It couldn't be blamed since he liked to glance at it occasionally.

"How about a fruit salad daiquiri?" Kyou recommended again, seemed like he had grown a liking to it. He was taken aback a little by Yuurei's question about the fund raising though. "Uhm..." he hesitated a little to tell her, but it wouldn't hurt much right? Since she is already part of the lab community now. "I need at least another quarter of a million actually. But I only aim to raise a few thousand in this event." he chuckled a little nervously.

Tyson gasped as he saw the paintball he had just fire make contact with an opposing team member. A delightful shiver shot down his spine and shook his insides till they were squirming with giddiness. That spark of joy brought a handful of giggles and a grin to the lad that he hadn’t felt in a month atleast!

Of course the lad didn’t stick around to see the raevan’s reaction to his fire. Afterall, it was a well known fact that if you stayed in one place for too long you’d be shot without a chance of escape. So, following that guideline, Tyson gathered the gun in his arms, hugged it close to his chest, and ran like there was no tomorrow. The boy scurried and leaped over a rather small ditch as he searched for more Cactus members.

As he went running through the chaos, someone’s fleeing form caught his eyes. Without little thought, Tyson heaved his paintball gun up from his chest and fired his second paintball at an evading Lazarus as he too hurried across the field.

Through his midst of joy, it would have been better and smarter if he had been looking ahead of him rather than to the side. But before Tyson could correct his mistake, and catch if his shot was a hit or miss, the lad tripped and stumbled headfirst into a ditch.

Aphismet grinned as Josh admitted that was his last bullet. "Hang on for the ride now, then! Try to stay out of sight!" He laughed and looked over the side once more for Werika, instead greeted with the sudden appearance of Tyson as he fell into the ditch beside him.

"Ty!" Aphi exclaimed, seeing the pink-colored band on the boy. With a laugh, Aph helped the boy right himself. "Did you hit anyone yet?! Fun, isn't it!"

Dorian smiled. "Okay, just had to be sure. Rule of thumb, someone goes down, you gotta make sure." He swallowed a bit when he noticed her hands twitch. "Try to relax more. When you tense up, the muscles contract, and thus when the paintball hits, you feel more pain. Loosen up, and focus on something else...like...the sand." He shrugged. "Good luck." With that he ran back to his own base. "Break over, Resuming position!"

Tyson looked up at Aphismet as he not only tried to keep himself standing from the sudden fall but also realign his head. After the daze had cleared within a minute or so, the boy dusted himself off and smiled up at the man.

“Hey, Aphi.” He spoke with a cheerful tone as he got to work on dusting off his legs. “Um…” The boy fumbled with the gun at his side just before he straightened at the question, his free hand extending to count one person. “I got one but…” Daring but quick Tyon made an effort to push himself out of the ditch just enough to see over to where he had fired at Lazarus. Deciding to go for the best, the boy slid back into the ditch and added another finger to his hand. “I think I got two actually, raevans even. That’s good right?"

Tyson twisted himself to see that there was another guy in the ditch besides him and Aphi, so he decided to address them both with his next question. "Have you guys hit a lot of people so far?”
